My Boxer Dog

Question
I have a Boxer he is one year old, I leave him outside during the day, but now that it's starting to get cold I'm getting really worried about him getting cold.  Today it is 50 degrees outside and I'm at work, the whole time I keep thinking that my dog might be really cold and I am not around to help.  Is it too cold for him?

Answer
Dogs acclimate to colder temperatures.  By leaving him out in cooler weather, he will get used to it.  It is only when a dog kept indoors in the warmth all the time is suddenly put outside that they have a problem. Provide him a bedded shelter, like a doghouse to keep him out of the elements.
